Sick and tired of hearing that people are scared that they'll be forced to move out of the UK.
Never a word from the sympathisers of the UK citizens in Europe. Obviously an agreement will be made and nobody forced out of any country but peep just love to moan. |

Will likely be replaced by Romanians and Bulgarians.

Aka, it's because in our modern messed up world, being "seen" to suck up to a "minority" is far more important than reasonable political behaviour re our own people.
And don't get me wrong, I vote leave but really want us to treat any EU citizen currently here with total respect, I despise retrospective law. It'a all about fairness, and playing to the rules of the game when you START the game. We jsut need to be fair to everyone who came here with good pretences, and enforce that our own folk are equally respected. |

Hopefully agreement on this point will be one of the first made.
But I feel the issue been turned into a political stick to batter Brerxiters with |

How does one define a Brexiteer, please?

When recruiting I interviewed quite a few Polish people.
Those I started never let me down. Here for one thing only - better themselves - and you can't argue with that. |

a country that gives away its citizenship too freely is not admired by other countries or the people of other countries,
it is despised. |
|
By:
Mad world

By:
and they are right to despise it.

By:
Don't want to appear racist but Eastern Europeans are not the problem. I work with loads of them, some you couldn't meet nicer people. Polish, Romanian and Latvians, they want to integrate, invite you to their homes. Salt of the earth as we used to say.
|
|
By:
I can say the same Paddy. All are hard working and only here to try and better themselves. Their kids are a new generation of Brits that bring a lot to our culture and integrate very well. My only concern (coming from NI) is the most of these countries are Catholic nations and may sway an all Ireland vote.
|

By:
Nothing wrong with the Poles and most of the immigrants on a personal basis. The problem is uncontrolled immigration and the government somehow thinking it will all work itself out somehow.
|
|
By:
Governments have rules on how many cattle can be put on a lorry, but have no such worries about cramming more people into the same schools, hospitals and housing stock.
|

By:
Value of the pound is a reason.
Also Polish propaganda news stations are conditioning their citizens that the good times in the UK are no more. They are conditioning their citizens that it is a far more dangerous place post Brexit vote. The Polish have opportunities back home but they could save up in the UK, not so easy now. It's the Romanians and Bulgarians that have less opportunities back home, so they are accelerating their migration here. |

It is possibly our only card of hard value, 3 million to one million are the rough numbers. If they intend causing us damage it should be waved, even if not used.
|

By:
what send our country bankrupt by disrupting our economy ?
great card to play |
|
By:
shirley the debate has already happened and we will do a deal that suits all
|
|
By:
If their pique has subsided that will be the way to go donny, but we must not be too malleable if they want to go the punishment beating route, (one of Boris's better indiscretions).
|
|
By:
imo, .....we should rise above them, it will cost us nowt to give workers already here visas
and then we can replace them on an as required basis should they chose to leave there will be no shortage of applicants from all over the world if we cant fill vacancies with home grown talent i dont hear any clamour in europe to send brits home |
|
By:
Why would they? They only hold a million of ours between 27 of em, this little island has got three times that amount. They will probably be quite keen to leave things as they are.

By:
contruction sites, petrochemical sites etc going rate should be around £20 an hr ,you bet your sweet arse enmployers say they love eastern europeans when there prepared to work for £9,10 an hr,id put the chucking the lot on top of a bonfire
|
|
By:
In the construction industry, Eastern Europeans have taken over from the Irish, and are just as hard working and friendly.
They will always be needed during the busy times , so it is ridiculous to say they will be stopped from working here. |
|
By:
dont no what the going rate for a tradesmen in poland is,but lets say its a fiver an hour imagine if a million uk tradesmen went over and said they,d work for £2.50 an hr ,do you think we,d be greeted with open arms,open your eyes
|
|
By:
mad ,mad moon if there that chucking hardworking pay,em the going rate and not minimum wage for tradesmen which is happening
|
|
By:
tories wont vote to raise wages
|

One thing I have always found about the Polish, they are grafters. In Spain and in London they want to work. I've never had a bad experience with them, they have done lots of work for me, bricklaying, roofing etc.

we don`t want to know that as it is completely meaningless
